Public bug reported:

There is a problem while i install an External Deb package.

I receive this error: dpkg: error: unable to read filedescriptor flags
for <package status and progress file descriptor>: Bad file descriptor

I'm using Python 3.4 and in this version, the files opened by a child's
processes  are non-inheritable by default. So, i read somewhere that
need to set the inheritable on the file descriptor.

I tried to look on DebPackage class looking for the file descriptor to
set the flag by my hands but i didn't find anything where i cant set
that. So i opening this bug to fix that.
